Finsler and Lagrange Geometries Proceedings of a Conference held on August 26–31, Iaşi, Romania

In the last decade several international conferences on Finsler, Lagrange and Hamilton geometries were organized in Bra§ov, Romania (1994), Seattle, USA (1995), Edmonton, Canada (1998), besides the Seminars that periodically are held in Japan and Romania. All these meetings produced important progre...
